Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Nov 05, 2016 6:25 pm We're building a ranch style home, it's only just occurred to me that most of the windows are only 1800x1800. My office window is this and it's tiny! On the plan they don't look little but I'm concerned that they will seem small in reality. I also want the living area to be bright inside, we have 3mt ceilings. We have had all our engineers drawings and star rating done so it will cost a bit to get the plans changed but I figure it's better to do now than wish in the future we'd done it. What do you think. North is the side with no verandah. Views are out this way.

Are our windows big enough? 5Nov 05, 2016 11:00 pm Our ceiling is 2.75 btw so I imagine your 1800 X 1800's will be fine hun but if you aren't completely happy then you're better off changing now then regretting it later I guess. Also what an amazing house!!! It's huge! In love with your master Re: Are our windows big enough? 6Nov 06, 2016 7:29 am Thanks deejay08. Is your window 1510 wide? So we'd have almost 300 extra on width? I guess the smaller window just isn't what I pictured. How wide is your study? I don't want the bedrooms overtaken by window either. Such a dilemma!! I love the layout of our home, but now I'm getting worried about keeping it clean lol We're building on 12 acres and have 3 young kids. Re: Are our windows big enough? 7Nov 06, 2016 3:21 pm Hey hun, that room is 2970 (where the window is) x 4760 it's an odd size I know! So Yep yours would have 300 extra. It is a dilemma getting the glazing right...thank you we love it. It's perfect for us...I reckon the smaller the house the more hard work as it gets untidy and cluttered very easily and quickly where as you can spread out your junk in a big home lol 12 acres! My god that's awesome!! Kids will have a ball growing up there! Re: Are our windows big enough? 8Nov 07, 2016 6:53 pm Thanks Deejay. It should be ok I think. It's probably not quite as big as I was hoping but they'll be fine. Bigger windows will cost more! Most of the time, council will push you out to a private certifier as it ties up their limited resources. Where a builder has gone belly up, the certifier passes the file… 7 5370 As per title, unsure if my land doesn’t have enough fill. The house on the left seems to have higher elevation. Not sure if the empty lot in between has just been… 0 540 |
